We’re back from Jordan, our head full of wonderful memories. All these discoveries were enhanced by the warm welcome we received from Jordanians everywhere. It was Pierre’s second experience in the arab world after Abu Dhabi and Dubai; he found the same generosity that characterises the people from this region.

It was also our first experience of an organized tour, and we survived it. The first two days were a bit difficult as we had to get used to the pace of group travelling. But before long, we made friends with several people and shared good moments with them. Our Jordanian guide did a great job and took us off the beaten path in Petra. He was also critical when we wanted to buy good arabic coffee with cardamom!

We’ll need several days to organise our pictures and post more articles, but we thought we would present you already our “Top 10” to whet your appetite!

Thanks Anthony: I would highly recommend Jordan as a destination. It is very safe, the people are very friendly and right now it isn’t too crowded as tourists are avoiding Jordan lumping it with all of the surrounding countries which are at war. As a good part of the Jordan’s economy is based on tourism, it isn’t good for them. There are a lot of tour operators and you can also arrange for a driver and guide to take you around the country. Stay tuned as there will be more posts on our trip to Jordan.

Wow, you two have the best time. Wonderful photos and the information is fascinating. Thanks so much, enjoying your travels so much. I have friends in the Diplomatic Service who were stationed in Jordan and they loved it and the people and everything you’ve said rings true and is in agreement with their thoughts about the place and the people. I would love to visit Petra. Thanks so much, best wished to you both. Thanks so much.

Thanks Jane. We are indeed trying to travel as much as we can during our 2-year stay in Paris. Jordan was a fascinating place and we would love to go back. I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed our various posts on Jordan.
